The Carolina Classic Fair is around again, but this time the only ride you’ll have is in your car. Although it’s not the same, the sweets and treats that we all look forward to every year will still be available. This list includes the returning fan favorites.
1. Funnel Cakes
The first noteworthy food is a classic and popular choice, Funnel Cakes! Although you might want to remember some napkins for this sugary dessert, you should definitely give it a try if you never have.
Even if you’re not a fan of the original, they are offering red velvet funnel cakes as well with cream cheese icing, which are both priced at $6.
2. Fried Desserts
Whether you find these to be weird or nice treats, the fried desserts are back and are here to stay. The list includes very enjoyable crisped fried pumpkin pie slices that bring the taste of fall, fried pecan pie slices that will melt in your mouth, golden brown deep fried cheesecake, and finally deep fried oreos that bring a mix of flavors with the sugary chocolate treat. All are $7 except for the oreos which are $5.
3. Mac ‘n Cheese
A very popular comfort food even if you’re not at a fair is the never disappointing mac ‘n cheese, and this time it comes with some extra bacon for the taste. Priced at $10; if you don’t like it like that; another option is the crack ‘n cheese which is mac n’ cheese with turkey BBQ, turkey cracklings and sauce for $11.
